This is university guys. Hoping for a school closure is pointless. If you really dislike your classes that much you don't have to attend, even if the school is open.

Well it's not so much a matter of disliking classes as it is a matter of having a day off to catch up with work.
I was just reading the strike update and they felt it was important enough to mention snow related closures...so yes there is still hope!
Jan. 11 - 4:00 p.m. - Picketing continued at the Sterling and Cootes Drive entrances to campus today as SEIU Local 2 (Hospitality) remains on strike.
Delays getting into campus were more manageable today as many staff, faculty and students have made alternate arrangements for accessing campus, including using public transit. The union continues to stop vehicles as they enter and leave campus, however, and delays should be expected. The McMaster community and its neighbours are thanked for their continued patience during this time.
The forecast for Hamilton calls for snowfall overnight which may also cause delays in accessing campus. Check the Daily News, local radio and television stations and the Hamilton Spectator website for updates on storm-related closures.
The University's top priority during the strike is to ensure students living in residence and those with meal plans have access to food services. Hospitality Services is working to provide a variety of menu items at its food service outlets. A list of open food outlets and their hours of operation can be found at
